NICA Member Benefits

The discount and savings programs that NICA has negotiated with our premiere partners are just another way we are building relationships throughout this industry in order to bring much needed and REAL benefits to our members.

Beverages

Coca-Cola

NICA has negotiated with Coca-Cola to provide NICA Members with special national account pricing on a variety of products including dispensed sparkling and still bag-in-box beverages. Every food vendor is eligible to sign up when they join NICA, and their account will be renewed annually with their membership. These accounts are set up by Coca-Cola for national account pricing and may take 4-6 weeks to activate.

Pepsi

NICA and Pepsi have joined forces to bring special pricing on their beverage products to all NICA Members. Every food vendor is eligible to sign up after joining NICA with the online or paper National Account Program application, and their account will be renewed each year with their membership.

Once activated, members are eligible for the Pepsi rebate program.
